Partnering On Your Personal Career Journey
At Berkeley Haas, becoming a leader who turns innovation into lasting impact isn’t just your ambition—it’s our shared mission. From the moment you join our community, the Career Management Group (CMG) becomes your partner in charting a career path that is as distinctive as your vision.
We meet you where you are—whether you have a clear destination in mind or are still exploring—and work with you to discover the industries, roles, and organizations that align with your interests and values. Individualized coaching helps you develop a job search strategy, and we provide the tools to support your career goals: from sharpening your resume, to refining your storytelling skills for networking and interviewing.
Our team also helps connect you with companies, alumni, and other industry insiders to identify the right opportunities for the next steps in your journey, whether it’s with a blue-chip company, a high-growth startup, or an emerging organization that hasn’t yet recruited on campus.
Our commitment to your growth as a leader doesn’t end at graduation: the CMG services are with you for life, and we are ready to help as your goals evolve.
The CMG Team: Your Career Partners
Our team of career coaches, employer relationship managers, peer advisors, and specialized resources have the skills, experience, and connections to set you up for success. All of these partners share your goal of putting you on a path for a lifetime of leadership opportunities and impact.
Career Coaches
Career coaches take the time to help you align your passions, strengths, and career goals, while developing a job search strategy. They also help you with storytelling to make your personal story its most compelling. They also support you in resume reviews, interviewing, evaluating offers, and negotiating.
Employer Relationship Managers
Interested in specific industries and need help narrowing your target list and networking with industry insiders? Employer relationship managers bring industry expertise and deep connections with employers to help you generate leads.
Peer Advisors
Peer advisors are second-year students who can speak to internship recruiting from recent personal experience. Based around industries and roles, they can help answer specific questions, share lessons learned, review resumes, and lead mock interviews.
Specialized Resources
When it comes time for interviewing, our Specialized Resources are industry specialists who can offer help with tough casing skills. They also provide other expertise to help you stand out as a candidate and cross the finish line.
Relationship-Based Recruiting
There is no sure way to predict where your next career opportunity will come from. That is why we offer many events and resources to support your job search journey:
-
On-campus recruiting and networking: Many employers, from industries that include finance and consulting and tech, host presentations, coffee chats, panels, and workshops on campus, providing plenty of opportunities to network with alumni and recruiters.
-
CMG BEARS: You will gain access to this Haas internal platform that brings together job postings, employer events and workshops, appointments for CMG team members, and company information. It is a key resource for information and support throughout the process.
-
Mixers, panels, and career chats: These events provide additional avenues for connecting students to industry insiders and potential opportunities.
-
Alumni networking: Our 45,000+ alumni form a highly supportive community, eager to share insights, advice, and connections.
Side-stepping from Big Tech to direct impact
After taking what he calls the “typical engineer’s approach” to researching and applying to business school, Alex Berry, MBA 24, knows now that the “insights you get from spreadsheets and those you get from the heart provide different types of guidance.”
